    First time, won't be the last! Service was excellent and the food was top notch. Tony's Tacos were amazing as were the chicken taquitos and the carnival enchilada. We were a family group of 5 adults, and we all enjoyed our meals very much!

    I booked a reservation for my sister and I, she was visiting from Doha, Qatar so I wanted to take her to a special place. It wasn’t super busy when we went but the vibes were good. We ordered drinks and the Calamari with black ink and the ricotta tamal as appetizers. The calamari was amazing, the tamal super tasty too. And as our main we choose the steak and while it was good it wasn’t as creative or interesting as I expected. Overall the food was great but I think it’s overpriced for the amount of food you get. I obviously get this is a fine dining place but the food wasn’t as interesting for the price. Also, the choices are quite limited.

    We were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food we ordered. The tortilla soup was flavorful and just the right spice level. We split shrimp fajitas and the vegetables were perfectly cooked and maintained their color.

    They were kind enough to put out chips instead of chicharones. The enchilada suiza was really yummy, and the margaritas were delicious too!
